TO all whom it may conccrn:

Be it known that I, lVILLL-&M H. BRADLEY, of Bellevue, Allegheny County,Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Gas-Pro ducer,

of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional plan view of a gas- Ioproducer embodying my invention, and Fig.

2 is a vertical central section with the upper portion broken away.

My invention is an improvement upon the gas-producer described andclaimed in my Patent No. 801594, of December 19, 1905, the object beingto provide means of simple and effective character whereby thedistribution of air, orair and steam, within the producer may be morethoroughly regulated and controlled.

YVith this ob ect in view my invention consists in the novelconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts, all substantiallyas herein described, and poiuted out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, 2 designates the masonry shell of the pro ducer, and 3the lining thereof. Beneath the shell 2 is a water-trough, adapted tocontain water and to constitute a water seal. Across this trough at itscentral portion is preferably a wall or partition 5, which is ot'inverted-V shape in cross-section and which is adapted to shed the ashestoward the end of the producer in the direction in which the troughextends. Above this wall or partition 5 and at right angles thereto arelocated the wind pipes or chambers 6 and 7, supported by cross-girders 8and perforated 'for the discharge of air and steam into the producer.

As thus far described the Construction and arrangement is similar tothat shown in my said patent.

In accordance with my present invention each of the wind pipes orchambers 6 and 7 is divided longitudinally throughout its length by avertical partition-wall 9, so that each Wind box or chamber consists oftwo entirely separate and distinct parts, both of which haveperforations leading into the producerchamber 10 designatessupply-pipes, one of which communieates with each portion of each of thewind pipes or chambers and by means of which the supply of air and airand steam delivered thereto may be separately and independentlycontrolled.

By means of this improvement it will be apparcnt that the supply of airto every part of the producer may be regulated and such distributionthereof obtained as will secure the most effective result in theoperation of the producer.

/Vhat I claim is 1. A gas-producer having wind-pipes eX- tending acrossthe chamber, each pipe comprisi ng parallel eXtending wind chamb erswith air-discharge openings in their tops, and separate connections forsupplying air to each of the chambers; substantially as described.

2. A gas-producer having wind-pipes eX- tending across the chamber, eachpipe comprising parallel eXtending wind chambers with air-dischargeopenings in their tops and sides, and separate connections for supplyingair to each of the chambers; substantially as described.

3. A gas-producer having a plurality of transverse wind-pipes therein,each pipe having a partition dividing it into parallel chambers, eachchamber having top openings through its length, and separate connectionsfor supplying air to each chamb er of the windpipes; substantially asdescribed.

4. A gas-producer having a plurality of wind-pipes extending across theproducerchamber, each pipe having an open bottom entering a water sealbeneath the producer 'and comprising parallelextending windchambers withupper air-discharge openings, and separate pipe connections 'forsupplyng air to each chamber of each pipe; substantially as described.

5. A gas-producer having a plurality of wind-pipes eXtending across theproducerchamber, each pipe having an open bottom entering a water sealbeneath the producer and comprsng arallel -extendng Wnd- I In testmonyWhereof I have hereunto set chambers With upper ar-dscharge openings, myhand. pipe connectons for supplyng air to each chamber of each pipe,said connectons being 5 located respeotively at opposte ends of thewitnesses:
